How to Handle a Blood & Bodily Fluid Cleanup: South Jersey Accidents

Bloodshed After an Accident in South Jersey

Some things in life are simply inevitable, accidents being one of them. Sometimes, even if you follow all the rules and safety precautions, accidents happen. In the event that an accident leads to bloodshed, be sure to proceed with caution. Blood is considered a biohazard and is potentially one of the most hazardous materials to cleanup. Blood can contain harmful bacterias, dangerous viruses and other hazardous, bloodborne pathogens. When it comes to blood spills, OSHA’s approach to infection control is to treat all human blood and bodily fluids as if they were infected with a bloodborne pathogens.

When there is an accident that leads to some kind of blood spill in a New Jersey property, minor or severe, it is important to act quickly and carefully. When managing a situation that involves blood and bodily fluids, safety should always be the absolute first priority. Areas of blood contamination should be blocked off and isolated to avoid contamination to clean materials and to keep people away from the scene. Before approaching the contaminated area or areas, be sure to put on appropriate personal protective equipment (i.e.:gloves, masks, eye protection, etc.). While very small areas of blood on hard, non-porous surfaces might be manageable on your own with the right equipment, serious blood spills should be handled by trained blood cleanup professionals in South Jersey.

Cleaning Up an Accidental Blood Spill in New Jersey

Every situation will be different depending various factors. Depending on the cause and the extent of the blood contamination in your NJ home or business, you may need to hire a professional in your New Jersey area to handle the biohazard cleanup. Depending on your specific situation, blood may have had the opportunity to travel and absorb into materials that can be easily overlooked. A surface cleaning done on your own may overlook unseen body fluids which, if left undetected, could cause infection or spread disease. It is a general misconception that serious blood spill onto porous materials like carpet or cloth can be effectively cleaned. If porous materials have been contaminated with blood and bodily fluids, these items need to be properly disposed.

In some minor cases of blood contamination on a non-porous surface, you might be able to handle the cleanup on your own as long as you use personal protection and have the appropriate cleaning tools. A good general rule of thumb is to use a dinner plate as a reference. A blood spill on a hard, non-porous surface that is smaller than the diameter of a dinner plate should be manageable on our own. However, blood cleanup of any size can be dangerous and emotionally overwhelming. If at any point you feel overwhelmed or in danger, please contact a professional NJ biohazard cleanup company to help.
